The Patsy: Review

starstarstarstar
The agents of a famous singer who dies in a plane crash hastily look for a new superstar to save their jobs. The management team--consisting of Lorre, Wynn, Sloane, Harris, Carradine, and Balin--choose bellboy Lewis to groom for stardom. Things go badly, as Lewis bombs in his nightclub appearances and recording sessions. Somehow he gets invited to appear on the Ed Sullivan show, however, and the managers abandon ship, fearing the worst. Lewis is a hit and becomes a superstar. He hires the management team back and proposes to Balin. George Raft, Hedda Hopper, Ed Wynn and Ed Sullivan make cameo appearances. This is one of Lewis' lesser efforts, with his appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show drawing the only real laughs. The film was originally going to be called SON OF BELLBOY (as the sequel to Lewis' 1960 film, THE BELLBOY), but that idea was quickly dropped. Peter Lorre died four days after the filming of his scenes. leave a comment
